Sleep Needs

People say 7 hours of sleep is enough, but I find that I need 10 hours every day.

According to stats, infants can need up to 19 hours sleep, and teens actually need a MINIMUM of 9 hours to function daily. 

I find the best sleeping hours are going to bed at like 12:00-1 and getting up at 10-11. 

Also, even if I get 10  hours/day for a week straight, and one day I happen to get only 4 hours, I still feel exhausted.

EndgameEnthusiast2357

I'm 18 dude! And I never plan on having kids cause I can't handle the sleep deprivation

Even at 6 hours sleep I feel exhausted all day

I pray every day that I will only need 4 hours sleep daily. I would go to bed at 3 in the morning, get up at 7

Do cats wake you up when they want something?

MEXIMARTINI

I drink A LOT of water every day. U need water in the morning as sleep causes dehydration

Pets could make you relax.

I eat a lot more salt than sugar. Salt is SOOO GOOD. I also stop drinking about 2 hours before going to bed so I don't have to get up and go to the bathroom

Salt dehydrates ya as well.

I know, but having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is annoying I've eliminated that

Too much salt and you'll end up looking like Steve Bannon.

 Sleeping through the entire night continuously without waking up shouldn't be a problem. Waking up in middle of the night is extremely unhealthy and dangerous for ur heart
